The total number of individual members of the International Astronomical Union is 10,190 - gives a rough idea of the number of serious professional astronomers though many astronomers are not in the IAU. As you’ll see from the list, they come from many different countries.International Astronomical Union | IAU

Must be hundreds of thousands to millions of amateur astronomers world wide from the US and UK figures.

UM has been a healthier distraction in the last 3 days while I'm here with my 16 old sick dog. He's pretty much everything for me, the only roommate I've ever had and seeing him like that it justs breaks my heart in one thousand pieces. I try to get my jazz together but it's so hard so thank you to all of you for the convos, jokes and well wishes, you're the best.
